Firegear Outdoors All Weather Ignition System (AWS)

All media (i.e. lava rock, lava stones, lava boulders and fire glass) has the potential of 

thermal spalling.  This is a process that may occur when media is wet and moisture gets 

trapped inside of the material due to rapid temperature differences.  When this happens 

the media has the potential to crack or “pop” outside the fire feature.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND COVERING ALL FIRE FEATURES WHEN NOT IN USE

The use of a cover can lessen the impact of thermal spalling; however, heavy rains, high 

humidity and the presence of moisture may still cause the media to pop.

ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN USING THE FIRE FEATURE 

Extra caution should be taken when lighting a fire feature when heavy rains, high humidity 

and moisture are present.  Light the fire feature; leave the area allowing any moisture in 

the media to dissipate.  We strongly recommend that during this drying out time that you 

monitor the fire feature from a distance.  This drying out period should be no less than 30 

minutes.  Continue monitoring the flame from distance to ensure that all popping has 

ceased before fully enjoying the fire.
